[QUOTE="Blagginit, post: 1159671, member: 420008"] Thanks all for your replies, my knowledge on this system is very limited, other places I have worked with similar setups the system has worked without issue so has required little to no input, so I am trying to learn as I go! No the NID wasn't a typo, the transponder list I am using is giving NID of 32 for all transponders (TID's 2003-2116), this has to be converted to Hex to be entered into the DAC which converts to 0020, it is locked onto this NID and tracking so I think its ok, whether I am trying to look at the correct transponders is another matter! If I were to change to 2G I guess I would need to find suitable transponders for FTA channels and retune DVB tuners to suit? It is 12129 V we are having issues with, not getting any lock. Only thing I can see with the settings in our DVB tuner, that I think could be the issue is the downconverter value. These have all been set up by others. a couple of other transponders are showing PCR break / CC error / Bad PCR. I'm unsure what that means as my google engineering efforts have been scuppered by covid 19 / PCR tests! :-dohAlthough these inputs are working to an extent just glitchy. With NID tracking disabled the antenna is tracking the satellite based on AGC reading on the ACU/DAC vs threshold value to determine whether is is on/off beam, with NID it is receiving confimation of the network ID from the transponder and following this (As I understand it!) See below list of DVB tuner settings, ignore the transponder counter number, that is just the line reference to the transponder list I am using. [ATTACH type="full"]154997[/ATTACH] We are up off North West Scotland at the minute, normally further north off the Shetland islands. When we are further north I understand we are towards the edge of the coverage area. [/QUOTE]
